It's amazing what results you can get when you put a rifle together the right way.
A good tight stock is a must. Second is having a good handload ...I'd say 2 of the 5 posted show great results. I have a few other powder combos I'm going to play with but these two and my reliable varget load certainly pass the 2 moa requirement. |
